Today MUG debuts our vision for 2028! DSA needs a presidential candidate to run on our program—our vision for a real democracy and a socialist revolution! Only a democratic process in DSA can make that candidate possible.

@ProleBlues @donaldp1917 And I'm saying the students should complete their education and not "drop out of college and go move boxes for UPS".

They can fight for socialism as "educated" workers as well.

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@ProleBlues @donaldp1917 And why limit it to the "non-educated" proletariat?
If your point is that it was a mistake for the New Left to see students as the new revolutionary subject, I agree.

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@ProleBlues @donaldp1917 I think that's certainly true. I'm more responding to the suggestion that kids should "drop out of college and go move boxes for UPS".

IMO this will never be convincing to a large number of kids.

@ProleBlues @donaldp1917 Most students aren't intellectuals, they go on to work other shitty types jobs that can be organized.

@DougLain People talk about things besides abolishing class society? That's crazy

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

Yeah under capitalism productivity gains don’t go to workers free time

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

Yes, the climate mvmt's focus on blocking bad stuff has little to show for it. A union-led politics of *delivering* infrastructure has much more promise.

Yes, it should be basic to Marxism that labor productivity gains under capitalism can be harnessed for social good/free time.

@DougLain I wish you'd put it in writing, because I ain't watching all that

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@donaldp1917 @richard_normal yeah... talk about the left tailing the Dems. Good lord!

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@DougLain you know, you don't have to make predictions...

@donaldp1917 What platypus does to a mfer

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@DougLain "Panama will not control the Panama canal forever"

technically true, but meaningless

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@DougLain @caitoz "work" is a stretch to describe whatever it is you do

@modmillenialMI @MCmuckraker She ruled against Detroit Thermal, an energy company

[Marxist Unity Group @MarxistUnityDSA]

MUG has submitted a resolution to the National Political Committee for DSA’s stance on the presidential election: No Votes for Genocide.

[Lee 🍻 @cheapseatslee]

@NicolasDVillar1 Honestly, Detroit looks better than this. Lots of empty houses for people to squat in...

do economic models explain this? Cut in federal spending causing an increase in labor costs and inflation?
